Story plot: Every member of Ateez knows Hongjoong can be quite a bad boy if the pressure becomes too much. Going out until the sun rises even if they have a busy schedule the next day.  What they don't like is how he's dragging his boyfriend Jongho down the same path. The question is who will stop them from this self-destructive behavior, or will one of the boys decide that enough is enough.

Wooyoung sighs as he hears music blasting from Hongjoongs dorm room, knowing he's getting ready for another party. He tried talking to him, telling him this isn't the right way to cope with stress and pressure, but that only made it worse. Hongjoong was furious, yelling at him to stay away from his business.

Yeosang knocks on Wooyoungs door "Come in!". Yeosang walks in a groans. His room is right next to Hongjoongs and he's tired of the constant bass pumping noise. "I can't take this anymore Woo!" "Come here Sangie.." Wooyoung reaches over to the younger member pulling him closer to snuggle with him. Wooyoung is the only one who knows Yeosang can be very sensitive when it comes to noise. "I'm so tired of hearing that stupid music, of him stumbling around his room in the middle of the night only to throw up again" "I know.. Do you want to sleep here tonight? You won't hear him here" Yeosang nods as he snuggles on the couch in Wooyoungs room.

Jongho walks over to his boyfriend and smiles "Hm you're look really sexy again tonight Joongie" "Says my handsome boyfriend". Hongjoong smiles and pulls his boyfriend closer by grabbing his ass. "Are you ready? If you stay here any longer I don't think we'll make it out now will we?" Jongho chuckles "I'm ready! Let's go!" They turn the music off and slam the door shut.

As hours are passing by, Hongjoong is completely wasted. He can barely talk or even stand on his own legs. Jongho is pretty drunk as well, but sober enough to realise it's time to go. Jongho forces Hongjoong on his back as they walk outside, laughing. "Do you have any idea how heavy you are if you hang onto me like this?" Jongho laughs and carries his boyfriend all the way back to their dorms.

They stumble inside, loud enough to wake up a few members. Seonghwa opens his door only to see who came inside again and shutting it. Not even bothering to check if they're okay. He tried to talk to Jongho, asking him to slow down on the partying. Only to be yelled at the same way Hongjoong yelled at Wooyoung.

Jongho drags his boyfriend to their room as pushes him towards the bathroom so he can throw up. It's becoming more of a routine. They get home, put their shoes away, climb up stairs, one or both of them throwing up before brushing their teeth and going to bed. As Hongjoong throws up Jongho holds his hair back "Finished my love?" Hongjoong nods as he flushes the toilet. They brush their teeth, change into their pyjamas as fall asleep as soon as they hit the bed.

They've had a tough schedule today, with vocal practice, dance practice and an interview. They were forced to take occasional breaks due to Jongho or Hongjoong not feeling well. Everyone is getting more and more frustrated with their behavior. Yunho is especially upset about the fact that Hongjoong is dragging his Jongho down the same path.

Everyone is tired when they get back to the dorms, but that won't stop Hongjoong and Jongho of going out tonight again. Yeosang is over it by now and is staying at Wooyoungs room until this stops.

Wooyoung is furious. He can't believe they're basically forcing Yeosang to move rooms, because he can't rest or sleep with the noise they make. He bangs on the door but doesn't wait for an answer. "Do you guys realize what you're doing to all of us? Especially to Yeosang? Hongjoong hyung, you're the leader! Yeosang is barely getting any sleep because of you two! He's now staying in my room so he's at least able to rest!" Hongjoong looks at Jongho and just laughs "Yeosang could just put in earplugs or whatever. It's not my problem! Now get the hell out of here!" He pushes Wooyoung out of his room and slams the door shut.

"Joongie, maybe we should turn the music down a little bit.. I don't want Yeosang to feel like he needs to run from us.." "Jongho. We'll be out in a few minutes. Don't even bother." As Hongjoong slides on his jewelry Jongho chews on his lip. Is it really getting out of control?  Yeah Hongjoong can be really drunk but that's it right? "I'm ready lets go babe!" Hongjoong shouts as he kisses Jongho before making their way out the door again.

This night seems to be different. They're getting a lot of free drinks and they're both dancing on the dancefloor. Everything is really fun for once. No drama or anything and it feels like it's just them. Maybe it's not that bad Jongho thinks to himself as he's grinding against his boyfriend. But before he can actually start enjoying it, Hongjoong falls down on the floor. "HONGJOONG!" Jongho shouts, feeling sober in a matter of seconds. He lifts his boyfriend up and carries him outside. He sits down against the wall holding his boyfriend close in his arms. "Hongjoong talk to me! Open your eyes!" Hongjoong mumbles something inaudible as he leans away and throws up. "Babe.." Jongho holds his boyfriend up and his hair back letting him throw it all out. This is it. They need to talk about this tomorrow. "Done?" Jongho asks as he rubs small and slow circles on his boyfriends back. Hongjoong mumbles something what sounds like a 'yes'. Jongho lifts him up and carries him back to the dorm.

As they get to the dorms Hongjoong is passed out, forcing Jongho to carry him inside. He lays his boyfriend down on their bed and undresses him. Hongjoong curls up under the blankets and continues to sleep. Jongho grabs a bucket placing it next to him just in case. He changes into his pyjamas and lays down as well, unable to fall asleep. He brushes Hongjoongs hair softly as he continues to sleep.

It was a horrible night to say the least. Hongjoong woke up like ten times to throw up little bits and Jongho helping him sit up and holding the bucket. He didn't get a minute of sleep that night.

At around 10 in the morning, Hongjoong has been sleeping for the last 5 hours without waking up. Jongho gets up and walks downstairs to make some breakfast for them. "Goodmorning" causing Jongho to look up and see Seonghwa. "Morning hyung" he mumbles trying to avoid any eye-contact right now. "Jongho.. You look.. Horrible.." "I know okay, I know" he says as he grabs two bowls to make some noodles because salty food is the best thing to eat right now. "How was the party?" and now it's time for Jongho to look up. "You want to know what the party was like? Wonderful. Until my boyfriend dropped down on the ground and passed out, threw up outside only to wake up like ten times to throw up again this night. It was horrible hyung, really horrible". "Wow I'm sorry I didn't know.. Is he still asleep?" "Yeah finally. For the past 5 hours without waking up." Seonghwa walks over to the youngest member and pulls him into a warm and comforting hug "I'm going to talk to him today.. We can't keep doing this. This isn't the right way to cope with stress" "Are you sure you want to do that? He got really mad when we tried" "Yeah I know, but I'll yell back and force him to stop what he's doing". Seonghwa nods and helps Jongho get the noodles ready. "Goodluck!" "Thanks hyung" Jongho smiles as he walks upstairs with the noodles.

It's nearly 11 in the morning and Jongho is feeding Hongjoong little bits of the noodles. "Stop complaining. I know you don't want to eat right now but we both know you have to" Jongho states feeling very agitated and a complaining Hongjoong isn't making it easier for him to keep his cool.

It's early in the afternoon and they both took a shower and slide on some comfortable clothes. "Hongjoong babe, we need to talk" making Hongjoong look up. "About what?" "About the partying, I-" "Mind your own damn business. Since when did you turn against me as wel?!" Hongjoong shouts as he sits up in bed. "I thought you were on my side! You're the one who's suppose to understand me and do this with me!" This is enough to set off the anger Jongho has been holding back the entire night and morning.

"No! You need to listen to me right now! Do you even remember anything from last night?! I bet you don't! But I will gladly tell you everything! You dropped down on the dance floor, you didn't move or anything and I thought you freaking died there okay. Then I carried you outside where you threw up for God knows how long. Oh and then I carried you all the way back only to have you wake up 10 times this night to throw up again. I didn't get any sleep because I was way too scared something would happen to you if I fell asleep!" 

Hongjoong is speechless. The last thing he remembers from last night is him and Jongho dancing together. "Still Jongho! You have no idea how stressed I am! How much pressure I feel to work this out for this group! Fuck off and leave me alone!" Hongjoong turns away.

"You know what. Fine. If that's what you want." Jongho says and he gets up from the bed walking downstairs.

It's almost time for dinner as Hongjoong walks down the stairs with red puffy eyes. Please don't leave me. I'm so sorry. Those were the only thoughts going through his mind the past few hours. "Jongie.." Hongjoong says as Jongho looks up at him from the couch. "I- I'm so sorry I shouldn't have yelled at you or at any of the other members. I'm just so stressed out and I don't know what to do anymore" he manages to say before he starts sobbing again. Jongho gets up from the couch pulling his boyfriend in a close and warm hug. Jongho speaks softly "I forgive you. We all do. We'll find something for you to do when you're stressed okay?" Hongjoong nods as he snuggles in the crook of Jonghos neck. "Thank you" he whispers "We're always there for you" Jongho replies.

A/N: So I'm barely getting any reads on this book. Am I doing something wrong? Are the oneshots too long, too short, just plain boring or do you guys rather read smuts?
